2 An Evaluation o/the Sparks Street Mall EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report e aluates social and physical factors affecting the life ofthe Sparks Street Pedestrian I in downtown Ottawa, Ontario. It uses a method developed by the City oftoronto to ev luate elements that contribute to the health ofpublic spaces in urban environments. e twelve factors discussed in the report describe a broad view of the life ofthe Mall. ey help identify the successful and unsuccessful features ofthe Location eet Mall is located one block south of Parliament Hill in Ottawa's central business distri 1. It is surrounded by numerous government buildings and facilities, both old an new, as well as several tourist attractions. The Mall includes five blocks running east-w st between Elgin Street and Lyon Street. Map of Central Ottawa Parliament Hill 10 1:=~10 ~DOD JOUO r:~ City Hall o m.... Sparks Street Mall * war Memorial
3 An Evaluation ofthe ~arks Street Mall Background Sparks Street as originally developed by Nicholas Sparks in the early 1840s. After Queen Victoria selected Ottawa as the new capital ofcanada, the street became the thriving commercial Its role as a c centuries, as the stree boom was short-live ub for the area. th mmercial centre grew steadily through the late 19 th and early 20 became home to banking, fashion and cultural activities. This however, because the development ofsuburban shopping centres in the 1950s began to slowly draw patrons and businesses away from Sparks Street. In an effort to invigorate Sparks Street and curtail the flow ofbusiness away from the region, the merch ts turned a section ofthe street from Elgin Street to Bank Street into a temporary mall in May The overwhelming success ofthe temporary mall led to the creation ofthe Although the began to fade in the 1 ermanent mall on June 28, rst two decades ofthe Mall's life were a success, its popularity 80s. This was in large part a result ofthe opening ofthe Rideau Centre shopping mall only three blocks away and the further construction ofseveral large suburban malls in the city's growing periphery. In an attempt 0 limit this downward trend, local authorities have tried to inject life into the site by or been relatively succe levels. Overall, howe it was during the 196 anizing new activities for the MalL To date these activities have ful in achieving temporary improvements in the Mall's activity er, the Mall's success as an urban open space is a fraction ofwhat s and early 1970s, and during its more distant past when the Mall eet full ofsocial and commercial activity. Methodology This report e toys a methodology that was developed by the City oftoronto in their 1988 study, A C m arison offive Inner-Ci Parks. These procedures include an ecological mapping e ercise, a "door handle" survey, the analysis of maps and photos, and direct observatio. A multi-method approach was adopted because it allowed for the collection ofdiffe ent data types. Field data for this report was gathered in the fall of It is important 0 note that this report emphasizes users and site design equally. Thus, the interplay of esign factors and human activity can be better understood. ii
4 An Evaluation ofthe Sparks Street Mall Criteria The following tv elve criteria, grouped into three progressive categories. were used to evaluate the overall: uccess ofthe Mall as an urban open space: 1, Contextual S 'Pport These are pre-design environmental factors that should be considered bt fore site development. i. Microcl'matelEnvironment iii. Enclosure ii. Surroufi ding Land Use 2, Design Fram~ work - The design framework should consider the needs of potential user. i. Focus iv. Intricacy ii. Centrin~ v.

Animation, Attractions and ii. Territor; s and Turfs Amenities.~. The analytical esults of this study are summarized in the table below. This table highlights the positive and negative attributes ofeach ofthe individual blocks that make up the Mall. Within th~se tables, each criterion is marked with a 1.2,3 or 4. A score of 1 IS poor, 2 is fair. 3 is gpod and 4 is excellent.

Lack ofus diversity Lack ofuser diversity Not well m. tained Block Five: 'c art Limited architectural diversity ight Not very complex Limited eve. g activity Lack ofaccessible retail Lack of ye -round activities Lack ofuser diversity Lack ofuse diversity Overall absence ofsocial milieu Not well m tained Recommendations It is apparent at there is a genuine discord between the east and west end ofthe Mall in terms ofdesi framework, contextual support and social milieu. As such, future. design interventions s ould be tailored to the blocks east ofbank Street Given that the three eastern blocks p formed relatively well in almost every criteria, it is more likely 11 can be rescued. In contrast, the western two blocks ofthe Mall appear to be so 0 erwhelmingly unsuccessful that any attempt at improvement may be done in vain. Cons quently, converting blocks four and five back into a vehicular street with generous si ewalks appears to be a more appropriate approach. By focusing pedestrian improveme ts on the first three blocks ofthe Mall it is conceivable that a successful urban open pace can be created. v
